Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operators might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up. Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector. For a clue to value, compare how many people have this game vs. how many people want this game and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range.

Trivia

Although the game is officially called Bubble Bobble III, it is technically Bubble Bobble V since four other arcade games featuring the same characters have been released before this title (more if the Puzzle Bobble/Bust-A-Move series is included.
